Dartfish users, The Running School, are hosting a live webinar on Monday, March 11, 2013 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM GMT. The seminar will be led by Mike Antoniades, Performance Director and founder of The Running School. As a running-specific, strength and conditioning coach, Mike recognised long before it was fashionable, that runners can and should seek to run efficiently. The Running School is borne out of his many years of experience.

Taking on the challenge of the marathon can be a daunting task. Dedication, planning, sacrifice and a lot of mental strength are all required, as well as some good old hard graft.

But along side these, argues Mike Antoniades, you should be planning how to avoid injury.
How? The Running School invites you to a free online seminar where he answers this.

This is a ‘live’ event which you can attend from the comfort of your living room. It is open to runners of all abilities and is a friendly environment for learning and open discussion – feel free to ask as many questions as you like. We will endeavor to answer as many as time allows.

At the heart of what they do is functional movement. The ability of the body to move efficiently is central to being able to perform at your best and stay injury free. Running is a skill and most people have not been taught how to run.

The process begins with a biomechanical analysis in which they will take video clips of your running using Dartfish to identify areas that can be improved within your running, to reduce the risk of injury or improve your performance (or both). At this session they will also carry out a Running School Movement Screen to look at any weaknesses that could be preventing you from getting the most out of your running and with you, identify your goals. After the session, they use dartfish.tv to share your analysis, allowing you to view it via their secure, branded dartfish.tv channel.
